Ferrari Amalfi Unveiled: When V8 Fury Meets Italian Leisure
Amalfi — Ferrari has just done the automotive equivalent of wearing a tuxedo to a beach party—and making it look effortless. Introducing the Ferrari Amalfi, a front-mid-engined 2+ coupé that blends dolce vita elegance with enough V8 muscle to wake the coastal hills of Campania.
Replacing the beloved Ferrari Roma, the new Amalfi isn’t just a car—it’s a lifestyle manifesto on wheels. It’s what happens when you ask “What if we made a supermodel that can carry groceries and still hit 200 km/h before Andrea Bocelli finishes a note?”
Power With a View
Under that sculpture-worthy bonnet lies a 640 cv twin-turbo V8, sourced from the award-hoarding F154 engine family. Ferrari didn’t just give it more power—they gave it turbocharger-specific RPM control, sensors with the attention span of a stalker, and enough torque to tow Amalfi lemons uphill (not that you ever would). It sprints from 0–100 km/h in 3.3 seconds and to 200 in just 9.0—but remember, always obey local Amalfi Coast speed limits (especially with espresso in hand).
Looks That Could Charm a Traffic Warden
Penned by Flavio Manzoni’s team, the design is as if the Roma hit the gym, did yoga, and started reading design magazines. The grille has vanished in favor of a “floating wing” nose, the tail hides its spoilers like secrets, and the car debuts in Verde Costiera—a teal hue so pretty, it makes seafoam jealous.
At the back, a stealthy active spoiler raises itself during hard cornering and braking—not unlike a cat arching its back when play gets serious. The spoiler’s HD mode generates 110 kg of downforce at 250 km/h, but don’t worry, the rear seats are still legal to sit in.
Inside: Technology, Comfort, and a Hint of Sci-Fi
The Amalfi’s triple-screen HMI includes a 15.6” digital driver display, a 10.25” touchscreen, and an 8.8” passenger screen—because no one likes to be left out of the G-force data party. The steering wheel brings back physical buttons (finally, no more poking screens at 150 km/h!) and features the iconic red start button, because you deserve to feel like a fighter pilot on your morning commute.
Speaking of commuting, the Amalfi’s 2+ seating adds practicality. Ferrari says you can fit kids in the back. Others say it’s ideal for haute couture shopping bags, your dog, or your personal violinist.
The Burmester® 1,200W audio system with 14 speakers can drown out even the loudest judgmental scooter passing by. Meanwhile, optional massage seats are perfect for pretending you’re relaxed while accidentally engaging Sport+ mode on a cobblestone street.
Engineering that Thinks Faster Than You
The Amalfi features brake-by-wire, ABS Evo, SSC 6.1, and grip estimation based on EPS—which sounds like a graduate thesis but translates to: it drives like a Ferrari, and it makes you look like you know what you’re doing.
Thanks to advanced aerodynamics, everything from the underbody to the vortex generators works overtime, making this GT slice through air like a gelato spoon through pistachio.
And yes, it even has wireless CarPlay, a front lifter system, and ADAS functions that remind you to stay awake, stay between the lines, and maybe even stay humble.
Maintenance Plan So Good, It’s Basically a Butler
Ferrari’s 7-Year Genuine Maintenance covers all the usual suspects: regular servicing, original parts, and technicians trained in Maranello with more Ferrari knowledge than Enzo’s ghost. Whether you’re doing 20,000 km a year or just polishing the grille every Sunday, it’s included.
The Ferrari Amalfi is the Grand Tourer for those who love canyon carving, coastline cruising, and occasionally attending wine tastings in third gear. It’s fast, it’s beautiful, and it’s absurdly civilized. In short: it’s the supercar for people who want the drama of Italy… with room for luggage.
As they say on the coast: Benvenuto, Amalfi. May your V8 echo through the hills—and still fit in the valet lane at the beach club.
